Chapter 3, Problem 108E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of 17.0 mL of aluminium, which has a density of 2.72 g/mL is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Two variables such as mass (m) and volume (V) can be described as directly proportional one on other by the expression m α V. Besides, the term density is given by the mass of a substance per unit volume. It is denoted by the symbol ‘D’. Thus, density is given by $\mathrm{D}\mathrm{ }=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{V}}$.
